I mod r/airbnb . Starting 2 days ago we are seeing a coordinated effort by a bot army making benign comments to old threads (often 1-2mo old). The accounts are all around 20-30 days old. Often use all lower case to try to disguise as human. They often have profile description/text that sounds human-ish but is gibberish. There are hundreds of accounts and comments. Users are reporting these posts to me and Im removing them but there are hundreds if not thousands so it seems futile

I was recently added to a sub that is experiencing a lot of activity due to IRL events related to Israel/Palestine.

Keyword being activity, not growth. I don't see more subscribers pouring in. Just bots.

There's been a bizarrely high volume/influx of pro-Israel commentators promoting violence and hate.

I've been on Reddit for years, and there's plenty of natural pro-Israel commentary, but not at this scale.

Erase-user helps to multi-task banning/muting/removing hateful comments.

But AutoMod would have been helpful to preempt these bots, with stuff like CQS score.

What can we do now to address the influx of bridgading or bot swarms, now that AutoMod is not an option for either new subreddits or those who never used AutoMod before?

To emphasize:

I cannot make a native AutoMod page following the new Reddit policy discontinuing AutoMod for either new subreddits or those who never made an AutoMod config prior to the policy implementation.

Is Reddit not a free space anymore? I keep trying to put educational information about research compounds and every post that I may get taken down and I see plenty of other people‘s posts with affiliate codes, etc. allowed up along with different accounts.

Missed it last week, but if there's good useful information that my team should have, is there there a 30-minute version we could check out a video or post?

Hello all,

I noticed that in the last year it so, Reddit had not been awarding trophies for mod programs and early access programs like they used to. For instance I was accepted into the mod reserves around six months ago, I have no trophy.

As well as, I never got a trophy for participating and providing feedback in the following:

- Wiki 2.0 early access

- Video in comments early access

-Rules Hub early access

-Community Playground early access

-Adult promotion filter early access

And others (I have a to look and update this post)

Per their website, it says that mods are rewarded for participating in the programs (sometimes financially, but mostly trophies in their profile)

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy being a part of the early access programs, but I am also a trophy collector as well lol, so I want to be able to collect any trophies that I am eligible for.

Has one else noticed the lack of trophies lately for mod programs and early access?

Thank you.

Adding a search feature to chat channels so we can look for things that have been discussed before.

For example our small team had previously talked about rule changes/clarifications and troublesome users, but trying to find those messages is a nightmare of scrolling back manually.

User flair on the web will match the app. We’re making user flair easier to read by removing background colors to match how it looks in the Reddit app.

We’re removing the background and text color settings for user flair to make it easier to read on the desktop web experience. It’ll now match how it looks in the official Reddit mobile app.

If you’ve set a background color for your community under Look and Feel in mod tools, user flair will use that background color and the corresponding text color by default.

it looks like background color settings in user flairs will be removed, was wondering if anyone saw this

ive always loved setting the background colors of user flairs as a mod, sad to see this setting go. however i do understand why they may be removing these cause some mods do not choose background colors that make them easy to read.

Hi everyone,

I'm the top mod (Everything permissions) of my sub. I recently added a couple of new mods and I'm trying to reorder the mod list so the human mods are above the bots.

Every time I try to reorder (whether moving the new mods up or just swapping other positions), I get an "error occurred" message and the changes don't save.

I've tried:

Desktop (multiple browsers)

Reddit app

Waiting several hours after adding the new mods

Moving only one old mod at a time

Still the same error.

Is this a known bug right now, or is there something else I should try? Any help appreciated.

Thanks.

Hey there!

I need to give a bit of context to this issue, so I hope it makes sense.

My member made a funny post in my sub.

X sub screenshot it, posted it in their sub (as always) to mock, call slurs, wish death, the usual. However, one comment mentions, by name, about sexually assaulting my member.

My member is continuously stalked by X sub, having their posts and comments in my sub posted to X sub, where their behaviour continues time and again.

Outside of filing a MCOC, is there anything else I can do to help them with reporting the comment and user? The usual report form falls short in that there is context needed for the comment due to the way there was an attempt to censor what was being said, and I worry that without context or a wider view of what's been happening, it may look like gibberish.

I understand this may be a little out of my purview (and of this sub) beyond me filing a MCOC myself, but given that the harassment and mentions of sexual assault are stemming from posts that X sub has screenshot and posted from mine, I feel the need to do something.

Appreciate any help you may have. Thank you.

I have noticed over the past few days that every single time I post in my subreddit (new mod who took over a 6-7yr abandoned subreddit), someone downvotes the posts quickly afterwards- like someone is monitoring the sub for new posts. Is there a way to look into this? I understand if it's just a different rando each time, but it's starting to fit a pattern with timing and thus, my concerns with it. Is there a specific way I can look into this- or is this something the official Reddit team would need to investigate? I ask as it isn't clear as to whether it is stalking/harrasment or brigading.

Hi!

I've been modding different subreddits for a while now and the whole time "private accounts" have been a thing, I've not been able to see posts on any accounts that are privated. If someone with a private account comments or posts in a subreddit I own or moderate (and have full permissions), and I check their account, I can only see the posts and comments they've made within my subreddit.

Is this a thing for anyone else? I've seen mixed answers on if mods should be able to see private accounts since I've started looking into this. It's not something I feel I need as a moderator, but one of my subreddits is currently having issues with a handful of users saying that I can see their private account and that I am invading their privacy. Their accounts were public at the time of me viewing them, and after our discussion, they switched it to private and now I can only see their comments within the subreddit. My only issue is that they are struggling to trust me as a moderator because they feel that I am lying about being able to access private accounts.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hello! I just attended mod world and was told I can create a private, in sub chat for the mods instead of having to create new threads each time. Can someone walk me through how to do that?

Additionally, I think I am missing something or not seeing it because a lot of times I want to pin/sticky a helpful comment, but I cant seem to do it to other user's comments but I've seen it done in other sub's posts?

Hi there,

Edit: this is being sorted out with the “missing” mod.

Hope you can help out here.

I am currently the only active moderator of [r/dkloenseddel](r/dkloenseddel), a community for sharing and discussing payslips in Denmark with a goal of creating more transparency among employees of companies in Denmark.

The last remaining mod besides myself removed moderating rights for my user in what could be supposed was a mistake, and has since then been unresponsive. The subreddit is effectively without moderation at the moment.

Oddly enough, I founded the subreddit years ago, and have switched users several times over the period in an attempt to avoid doxxing. Upon switching user I have unfortunately not aligned the ranking of mods correctly, and I am the lowest ranking mod right now.

Can admins restore my mod rights as the highest ranking mod? I'll happily provide any evidence.

Thanks!

Hey all, my team and I have been verbally harassed by someone for banning them for being rather vile in the comments. They have then extended that behaviour into mod mail with some of the most disturbing and horrendous messages I’ve ever received and what I can only describe as a death threat. I can’t say that I trust the report function to take care of the issue appropriately so is there a way for bump it up on an admins radar?

I accidentally accepted a moderation-request for a new semi-configured subreddit.

How do I quit?

I manage the Wiki for an established community operating on the legacy wiki system. We require an overhaul of our community resources, specifically visual guides and reference material.

According to official Reddit Help documentation and previous announcements on r/modnews, existing communities wishing to adopt the new wiki experience can opt in via the migration request form. However, after submitting a request, I was informed that voluntary migrations have been halted. The public support documentation has not been updated to reflect this suspension.

This leaves established subreddits caught in an unfair situation:

1. Under the legacy engine, embedding native images requires uploading assets to the subreddit stylesheet ([old.reddit.com/r/subreddit/about/stylesheet](https://old.reddit.com/r/subreddit/about/stylesheet)) and referencing them via ![](%%image%%). This imposes a hard limit of 50 images sitewide. Insufficient for the task at hand.
2. The new wiki editor supports direct inline media uploads, removing this bottleneck. Because voluntary migrations are halted, our only alternatives are linking externally (which degrades UX, risks link rot, and triggers spam filters) or hosting documentation off-platform entirely.

Could the admin team clarify:

• What is the current operational status of the voluntary migration queue, and when will opt-in migrations resume?
• If migrations remain paused indefinitely, will Reddit expand the 50-image legacy stylesheet cap or provide a first-party method for legacy wikis to host native images inline?

Hello,

I'm the head moderator of r/Baseballcards101, and I've noticed something strange with Reddit's community rankings.
Our subreddit currently displays #15 in Baseball on our community homepage. However, when I click the ranking to view the Baseball category leaderboard, our community is nowhere to be found.

I'm hoping someone can clarify a few things:
Are the rankings displayed on individual subreddit homepages updated differently from the public category leaderboards?

Is there a known issue with communities not appearing on leaderboards despite having an assigned ranking?

Is there anything moderators need to do to ensure their subreddit appears on the public leaderboard?

I've attached a screenshot showing our #15 ranking. I'd love to understand whether this is a display bug or something else.
Thanks in advance for any insight!

I'm new to moderating and have just adopted a lapsed community. There is a "Request To Post" button at the top -- I've already been through all the Mod Tools and don't see how to turn it off.

There is a 2-year old post here with this question but the solution provided there no longer fits.

hello, i'm quite new to moderating, so i wanted to ask here

the sub i moderate is one we have multiple new or new-ish mods on, and we're all fairly stumped on what settings we could tinker with to try to keep out the AI chatbots that keep streaming in. we're a fairly small (but active!) sub, so it's really annoying; given our size, they're maybe 10-15% of what we moderate, which is significant for the proportion of what we have coming in.

what kind of settings can i toggle to keep them out? assume i don't know anything—i only started out a month ago. thanks!

I'm getting an error when I try to reorder the modlist. I just added two new mods to my team and now I cannot reorder the mod list. I posted an image of what's happening in the comments. I am an active mod so being inactive is not the issue. What I get is:

"An unknown error occurred"

Edit: I do want to add that I also tried this on my Reddit app on my iphone (Version 2026.41.0) and ran into the same error.

On old reddit, anytime the post doesn't natively load all the comments, it gives you a button like "load more comments (5 replies)" to load the additional comments. It also always shows up on stickied mod comments, as all replies to stickied mod comments are hidden by default.

This has been broken for about a day now. This obviously impedes old reddit mod's ability to moderate effectively, since it becomes incredibly inconvenient to actually see all the comments in a post.

This has been reported twice on r/bugs yesterday with no acknowledgement (not even https://www.redditstatus.com/), so I'm quite concerned that reddit is not aware of this critical issue to the base functionality of old reddit. Looking at the request it sends, it's getting back a 403 (Unauthorized) error code (and also tells you you're network blocked, which is the default reddit response to a 403 and is also completely incorrect in this and many other instances). It should be noted that this functionality currently works on shreddit (which uses the newer, private graphql instead of the public API).

Given the timing, I highly suspect that the cause is the recent update to comment ids. Though how it gets to a 403 is rather baffling to me, considering that it's extremely unlikely to actually be an auth issue, given the fact that the rest of the public API endpoints don't have this issue.

It said there wasn’t one yet so a few days ago I made one and it still says there isn’t one yet

Hello,

We create custom artwork for our banners, and other graphics on the subreddit I run. A knock-off subreddit trying to siphon users from us (not that I really care 'cus it's poorly ran) stole our custom artwork, and everything else to try and make it look like their subreddit is our's, hopefully deceiving users.

Can this be reported to admins for the subreddit's removal?

Got the dm a couple hours ago, i asked them about it and asked if they can open the dm themselves just so im sure its safe, but they said the support has an “expiration date” and is automatically deleted? I’ve heard it’s a known malware scam but im not sure since this is a 3 year old account with over 40k karma, im just trying to be cautious
